Mississippi St.

Age 23. From Philadelphia, Miss. (Philadelphia High School). Three-year starter at DT in a 4-3 scheme. In all, started 41 of 51 games. "I saw a big kid with explosion who was able to get some nice pop," D-line coach Mike Trgovac said. "He's got some good movement to him." Boyd caught Trgovac's attention a year ago when he was watching tapes of Bulldogs DT Fletcher Cox, a first-round draft choice by the Eagles in 2012. "Best thing he did was play three-technique and one-technique (nose tackle)," said Trgovac. "We'll have to see if he can play four-technique. For a big guy, he's got pretty nimble feet. He'll fight you." Finished with 125 tackles (18 for loss) and 8 ½ sacks. 40 time of 5.14, vertical jump of 28, broad jump of 8-8 and 32 reps on the bench. Short arms (32) and small hands (9 1/4).

He reminded Redbirds coach Brock Spack of OLB Rosevelt Colvin, whom he coached at Purdue and had 52½ sacks in a 10-year NFL career. "He's a tremendous person and a lot of fun to be around," said Spack. "He's a coach's dream type of guy." Ran a swift 40 (4.72) at pro day March 22 in Normal.
